A Friend's Wedding, Etseri, November 2010

 Wedding feast, now, in our village.  Top, Lali & I happened to be sitting opposite 3 lovely old ladies; the middle one is the widow of Mikeil Khergiani, fabled Svan mountaineer, who died at his favourite occupation in Italy in the late 1960s, and to our left is his sister.  Middle - the happy couple arriving at his house for the feast.  Bottom, their table in the marquee, at which about 250 people were guests.

A Friend's Wedding, Mestia, November 2010

 Ramaz G, former mayor of the village where we've bought a house in Svaneti, and his lovely bride in an ancient, 2-story Orthodox church in Mestia.  Top, being led around the altar 3 times by the priest.  I didn't use flash as it's fatal to frescoes; hence the slow shutter speeds and motion blur, which is all my style in such situations anyway.  Crowns are held over the couple's heads by their best man and maid of honour - this is what, above Ramaz's head, is catching the ray of light.
Middle, the church itself.  Bottom, the ray of light again, and smoke from delicious incense still made to the Old Testament Jewish recipe.
